Mammoth Lakes Annual 4th of July Celebrations

The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce hosts the annual 4th of July Parade on Old Mammoth Road and Main Street. Join us for the holiday festivities!

4th of July Parade Details

Everyone is invited to watch the 4th of July Parade through town on Wednesday, July 4. The parade starts promptly at 11 a.m. and ends around 12:30 or 1 p.m. The route starts at the intersection of Chateau Road and Old Mammoth Road (by Salsa's Taqueria) and ends at Manzanita Road and Main Street (by A-Frame Fine Wines & Spirits). Participants are allowed to hand out candy but it cannot be thrown to spectators.

Wear your best patriotic outfits and bring your camp chairs to enjoy the parade of floats through town! Attendance is free and all are invited. New this year: spectators on Main Street will be allowed to move into/sit in the roadway (the outermost lane in each direction) to be closer to the parade than in previous years.

We encourage you to walk, bike, or use public transportation to get to the parade, as Old Mammoth Road and Main Street will be closed before & during the parade. If arriving before 9:45 a.m., you can park at the park and ride lot off Old Mammoth Road.

SAFETY NOTE: Spectators are not allowed to pass the barricades and enter the parade route at any time. Spectators are also not allowed to throw anything into the parade route, including water balloons. Thanks for helping us keep this year's parade a fun and safe celebration!

BEFORE THE PARADE: We're excited to announce that we'll have a U.S. Navy F18 jet flyover right before the parade starts. Cover children's ears and be prepared for very loud noise in town at 11:00 a.m. on July 4th. The jet will fly over Old Mammoth Road and turn away from town when it gets to Main Street.

TRAFFIC IMPACT: Chateau Road, Old Mammoth Road and Main Street will be CLOSED to traffic from 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 4th.
